After Wu Jie's reminder, the Queen of Eight Desires was also shocked. She subconsciously thought of something: "The Holy Lord wants to devour the Lord!"
Wu Jie chuckled: "Nyaala, I didn't think so. It was your own inner voice that betrayed your thoughts."
"No, Jay, I have a reason for thinking that."
"reason?"
"Yes, the Holy Lord has always been very mysterious, almost as mysterious as the Lord in Black. As long as I can remember, people have always confused the Holy Lord and the Lord in Black, intentionally or unintentionally. When I was little, I could never tell who was the Holy Lord and who was the Lord in Black. But as I grew up, and until I became a True King, I realized that the Holy Lord is the Holy Lord and the Lord in Black is the Lord in Black."
After a pause, Nyara continued, "This coincidence certainly wasn't accidental. Over three thousand years have passed since the Lord in Black bestowed upon the Holy Lord the status of spokesperson. During these three thousand years, the Holy Lord has completely controlled the entire planet of Inth and possessed supreme power."
"I still remember the Dark Charm King (the seventh) once complained to me, saying that she had been a True King for hundreds of years, but she had never felt a connection with the Lord in Black. In contrast, the first, second, and third kings (the fourth was the one imprisoned in the Abyss) seemed more loyal to the Lord in Black."
"Although the Dark Charm King leans more towards the Lord in Black, he is often forced to obey the Holy Lord's orders due to the pressure from the Holy Lord. Because all of the Lord in Black's orders are issued by the Holy Lord alone, none of us know whether they are true or false. We simply believe that if the Holy Lord says it, then it is the Lord in Black, and we have never doubted it."
"As a supporter of the war-weary faction, I have secretly allied myself with the Dark Charm King, and am at odds with the Holy Lord, often disobeying his orders. This time, he sent me to the Earth front. I can easily guess his intention: to separate me from the Dark Charm King and weaken the strength of our war-weary faction."
"And this time, my rebellion against our home planet gave the Holy Lord an excuse to strip me of my power. By the way, speaking of this, I remember one thing. When I was chosen by the Lord in Black as a child, I still couldn't hear the Lord in Black say a single word to me. All I heard were the words the Holy Lord conveyed on my behalf. So, even as a child, I wondered why the Lord in Black didn't tell me personally? If the Lord in Black is so powerful, why didn't he tell me himself, instead of using an agent?"
Hearing this, Susan interjected, "Nyara, after listening to you, I think I understand what you mean. The Holy Lord covets the power of the Lord in Black, but is afraid that the eight True Kings will obey the Lord in Black. So, he found an excuse to declare war on other civilizations so that he can take the opportunity to transfer all of you away. This way, the Lord in Black will lose eight powerful bodyguards, and the Holy Lord can also weaken the Lord in Black's influence on his people."
"For thousands of years, the Holy Lord has controlled military and political power, even smothering the Black-Cloaked Lord's path to spreading his teachings. Over these millennia, he's been able to slowly and subtly change people's beliefs, quietly converting them from believing in the Black-Cloaked Lord to believing in the Holy Lord."
"While sending the eight True Kings away, he has been secretly searching for methods or conducting experiments to deprive the Black Lord of his power. Only in this way can the Holy Lord completely complete his rule over the planet Ince. Do you think my guess is correct?"
The conversation between Naiara and Susan immediately sparked discussion among the other girls.
The senior student also expressed her opinion: "Then it seems that we humans are not completely without a chance of victory. If the Lord in Black and the Holy Lord are not on the same page, then we can incite the True Kings who are loyal to the Lord in Black to rebel and turn against them."
Wu Jie shook his head. "Senior, it's not as simple as you think. Ultimately, everything we're saying and speculating about is completely unfounded. While the story is fascinating and captivating, have you ever considered that blindly speculating about the Lord's motives will only lead us humans in the wrong direction?"
"Whether or not the Holy Lord truly intends to seize divine authority has little to do with us humans. This is a regime change on Ins, or a coup d'état. But convincing the other True Kings to trust us humans and cooperate with us is truly too difficult."
"Even if we have Nyara as our lobbyist..." Wu Jie paused at this point, as he suddenly remembered something. Lilith had told him that divine authority could be stolen, and the possibility Susan had just mentioned was not impossible.
If the Holy Lord knew that divine authority could be stolen, he would undoubtedly search for a way to do so. But how could he find such a method? Thousands of years had passed, and the Holy Lord would surely not resign himself to this. Watching the Lord in Black slowly regain his strength, if he truly intended to steal divine authority, he would undoubtedly be extremely anxious.
Searching for other civilizations, finding methods from them? So attacking other civilizations. This explanation is a bit far-fetched, but considering the Saint's age, maybe he really does know something.
Even Lilith could know this information. If it was accidentally preserved by some means, and the Holy Lord happened to know this important information...
Think about it from another perspective. If you are an ambitious person, if you are a holy lord who wants to seize the throne, then you will definitely try every possible way to find the possibility of successfully launching a coup.
Most of the people here with Wu Jie are smart. If one person thinks so, everyone will think it is a coincidence, but if most people make such an association, then it may not be a coincidence.
The women naturally sensed Wu Jie's thoughts. Nyara frowned, "Jie, your thoughts just made mine clearer. If the Holy Lord really wanted to usurp the throne, it's possible that, as you said, while he was invading other civilizations, he was also collecting their culture and legends, similar to the books you humans read."
"According to the Holy Lord himself, this is to absorb and preserve the precious relics left behind by other civilizations. Although they have been destroyed by our planet Ins, they still have valuable research value. So I guess he is very likely trying to find a way to deal with the Lord in Black through other civilizations."
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
At this moment, Lilith added something no one had expected: "Master, according to Lilith's calculations, if the Lord in Black is truly a god, and the Holy Lord truly intends to usurp the throne, then even the name Lord in Black may not be true."
